Teacher leadership is a growing practice in school improvement. It is particularly important to school leaders to have a teacher or group of teachers to assist with leading various aspects of the school improvement efforts. Cultivating teacher leaders is a sure way for a staff member to feel empowered. Research has proven that when teachers feel empowered, they begin to subscribe to a sense of shared accountability. The REACH Teacher Leader Coaching Program™ provides support to teachers identified to become formal teacher leaders. REACH© provides teacher mentors. Mentorship is very important to teachers, especially new teachers and teachers experiencing struggles with classroom management and delivery of instruction. As experienced educators, REACH© mentors are fully aware that even in a large school, teaching can be a very lonely profession. Teacher support can be a determining factor for attracting teachers committed to your school's vision and retaining highly effective teachers. The REACH Teacher Mentoring Program™ (TMP) addresses the unique needs of the mentored teacher. Our REACH© mentors visit with assigned teachers and map a plan for improvement. As the school year progresses, the support lessens to once every other week, and by the end of the year, the teacher is visited once a month. As the mentorship continues, the REACH TMP™ participants are asked to engage in online course-like workshops uniquely created for teachers either new or experiencing difficulty in the profession. The REACH© mentor will work closely with the school leadership to ensure that the support and plan for the mentee is appropriately aligned to the teacher’s and school’s needs
